The blimps, which had par

Flying crews; were placed aboard

the subterfuge of "cruelty" as
now demanded by law. The judge
would Improve divorce conditions,
he maintains, by using courts to
bring unhappy couples into a
more complete understanding
even as he used his domestic re

manding a waiting period before
a divorce was allowed and by us

husband and wife rather than to
grind out divorce decrees by de
fault of one party, the judge be

of divorces to marriages could be

his office, jamming it from wall
to wall and overflowing his dek.
The president, wearing a suit
of blue, his favorite color, but with
a single breasted coat, told the
correspondents that he
not only
wanted to continue the usual con
tacts with- them, but wished to
devise methods by which these
could be improved to the mutual
benefit of the press and himself.
Office Little Changed
From Thai of Coolldge
There was no change in the of
fice from the days of its occu
pancy by President Coolldge
There was the same desk In the
same place, but some of the fur
nishings on it were personal ones
of the new president. A tall vase
full of red carnations was the only
decoration in the brightly lighted
room.
Reaching his office at 8:55 a.
m. ahead of most of his staff, and
after a simple breakfast with his
family, Mr. Hoover had an early
conference with Secretary Kellogg
on the new revolutionary move
ment in Mexico. After a second
conference later announced
that there would be no change In
the policy on arms shipments.
Soon after that the army of vis
itors began to march through the
executive offices. A delegation
from his own state of California
came first, bearing a large state
flag and standard and an inkwell
with a redwood stand surmount
ed by a small bear nlade of Califor
nia gold. '
Southerners Xumeroiu
Among Visitors
After a delegation of Floridans
had filed through the president's
office, about 300 Texans including
several of the presidential electors
called. After shaking hands with
each, the chief executive walked to
the door of the executive offices
to pose with this group.
The cowboy band from Simmons
university, Abilene. Texas, gave
a short serenade, playing the Tex
as state song and then playing.
"Dixie." Mr. Hoover smiled broad
ly, and. turning to a White House
attache, directed that he ask Mrs.
Hoover to go to the front portico
of the White House so that the
band might serenade her.
lowans Also on
Hand With Band
A group of Iowans from Cedar
Rapids also brought along a band
and the president posed with them
on the south side of the White
House, receiving a second seren
ade. The Hamilton club of Chica
go and delegations from Wiscon
sin and Ohio followed and then
came the folks from the old birth
place.
Mrs. Carran led them into the
president's office. Mr. Hoover
greeted her warmly and, drawing
up a chair for her to sit beside
him. asked that she introduce the
others. This reception over the lit
tle teacher's cup of gladness was
fiHed to overflowing by an invi
tation from the president that she
and her husband have luncheon
with him and Mrs. Hoover in the
White House.
As 2,444 persons by actual
count, filed past his desk during
the day, Mr. Hoover got his first
real taste of presidential ' hand
shaking, but he apparently enjoy
ed it as it was his first real per
sonal contact with the people since
the days of his campaign.
